"I will avenge you father, I will save you mother, I will kill you Fjölnir."

"I will avenge you father, I will save you mother, I will kill you Fjölnir."

Robert Eggers directs this beautiful action packed Norse tale of revenge that keeps you engaged and on the edge of your seat during this 2 and a half hour epic film!

Bloody beautiful master class film!

"I will avenge you father, I will save you mother, I will kill you Fjölnir."

The Tale Of Skald (original lyrics/poem)

Though evil may come,
Demons may run,
But they will come to know the might,
They all fear the light,
You are the might of us all!

Skald,
The bold and mighty one,
Strength of a thousand suns,
Skald,
The one and only,
Highlander of us all!,

Demons come in their masses,
To pillage and deliver us to ashes,
But they fear the might,
They are all afraid to fight,
You the strong arm of our souls!

Skald,
The brainy and holy,
Wisdom of the almighty,
Skald,
The graceful one,
The saviour of us all,

With their shields out and swords raised,
They stand before the mighty one,
Shivering in fear,
Waiting for him to strike in anticipation,
With a sword of iron and a fist of fury,
They await his move,

Skald,
The strong and mighty,
Strength of a thousand suns,
Skald,
The almighty,
Power of us all in one!,

He vanquishes his foes with a swipe of his sword,
With a strike of his fist he pushes hundreds away,
Ten thousand enemies lay beneath his feet,
Hail Skald the holy mighty one,
Skald friend to all,
Foe to no man!

HAIL SKALD!
